Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Crystal, also known as Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal, is an anime series based on the highly acclaimed manga “Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon.” While Sailor Moon Crystal is not the first anime adaptation of the manga, it holds a special place as a reboot that premiered on July 5, 2014.
Originally, Sailor Moon had multiple seasons that aired in the 1990s. However, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the franchise, Toei Animation decided to create Sailor Moon Crystal as a fresh take on the beloved series for a new generation.
Since its revival in 2014, Sailor Moon Crystal has garnered significant popularity and become a beloved show, leaving fans eager for new seasons. As anticipation builds, fans are eager to learn more about the potential Sailor Moon Crystal Season 4 and what exciting adventures it may bring.
Sailor Moon Crystal Season 4 Release Date
The ending of Sailor Moon Crystal Season 3 left fans intrigued, with the three main characters, Chibiusa, Mamoru, and Usagi, witnessing an eclipse. However, despite the hint, there has been no official information about the renewal of the show for a fourth season.
Instead, it has been announced that the fourth arc of the Sailor Moon manga, known as the “Dream” arc, featuring the Dead Moon Circus and significant power-ups for the heroes, will be adapted into a feature film series consisting of two parts. Originally scheduled for release on September 11, 2020, the first part of the film series was delayed due to the Coronavirus pandemic and premiered on January 8, 2021, in Japan.
The second part, “Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal: The Movie Part 2,” was released on February 11, 2021, in Japan. Both parts of the film series were later made available internationally on Netflix, premiering on June 3, 2021.
Based on this information, it appears that the two-part film series will serve as the continuation of the Sailor Moon Crystal storyline, effectively replacing the traditional fourth season. Fans can now enjoy the thrilling adventures of the “Dream” arc through these exciting film adaptations.
Sailor Moon Crystal Season 4 Plot
‘Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal: The Movie’ adapts the Dream arc, which is the penultimate story arc of the manga.
